The Budapest Half Marathon follows the scenic route from Pest, over the famous Chain Bridge to Buda, turning under Castle Hill on the west bank of the Danube, before ending on Olof Palme promenade in City Park.
There is usually a field of 6000 runners (including 1000 international entrants), and spectators line the streets to cheer the runners on. For those who can't quite run the full 21km, there is a 3.5km fun run.
